Chapter 82: Damn You, Xu Zhengyang

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“I don’t know much, but that’s not important. All that’s required for a loving relationship is a mutual affection for each other. Look at Jiaojiao. She clearly likes Qi Shenbai.”

Xu Zhengyang did not answer immediately. Su Luo thought that she had rendered him speechless. Just as she was about to speak to ease the atmosphere, Xu Zhengyang broke his silence.

“You don’t understand. Liking someone is the minimum requirement. If you like someone without knowing their personality, much less their deeper past, your affection will only be skin-deep. After all, people change their minds all the time,” Xu Zhengyang said with a heavy heart.

That was exactly what happened to Lu Zhuo and Xu Jiaojiao’s engagement. Xu Jiaojiao pinned her unwavering love on a promise, and what did she get in return?

Lu Zhuo did not truly love Xu Jiaojiao at all. That was why the Lu Family did not respect her, and she had to suffer all sorts of grievances.

Su Luo looked at Xu Zhengyang hesitantly, as if she remembered that time too.

“So you’re just testing him? You’re not against him, and you certainly don’t despise him?”

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhengyang had no intention of explaining at all. He said casually, “Why don’t you guess?”

“Tsk. Fine, be that way. Who cares what you really think?” Su Luo rolled her eyes at him.

When she thought about Qi Shenbai and Xu Jiaojiao, Su Luo’s heart became even more confused.

It was all Xu Zhengyang’s fault!

“Damn you, Xu Zhengyang. Sooner or later, you’ll fall to a woman’s mercy!”

Outside the washroom, Qi Shenbai waited quietly. However, more than ten minutes had passed, but Xu Jiaojiao still had not come out. She did not pick up his call either, so he felt a little anxious.

Just then, a cleaning lady happened to walk over.

“Excuse me, ma’am. My friend hasn’t come out yet. Could you help me see if she’s inside? She’s wearing a white sweater and has long hair,” Qi Shenbai said.

“Alright, I’ll go in and take a look now.” The cleaning lady placed the broom aside and walked in.

Not long after, the cleaning lady’s voice sounded. “Young man, there really is a young lady in here. She’s just as you described. She’s wearing a white sweater, but it looks like she’s asleep! 1 don’t know if she’s the person you’re looking for.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Shenbai was clearly a little anxious. “Is there anyone else inside? Can 1 come in?”

“No, it’s all clear. Young man, if you want to come in, come in. I’ll keep an eye out for you. No one will come in for the time being,” the cleaning lady said.

After that, the cleaning lady walked out.

“Thank you.”

Qi Shenbai did not have time to say anything else as he hurriedly walked in. Soon, he found Xu Jiaojiao in an open cubicle.

Xu Jiaojiao had fallen into a deep slumber. Her face was as red as an apple as she lay on the top of the toilet.

“Jiaojiao?” Qi Shenbai softly called out to Xu Jiaojiao, but she did not respond. It seemed like she was already sound asleep.

Qi Shenbai frowned slightly and pressed his palm against Xu Jiaojiao’s cheek.

“You’re burning up. Let’s go out first.”

Before Qi Shenbai could retract his hand, Xu Jiaojiao slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Qi Shenbai, Xu Jiaojiao looked at him blankly.

Qi Shenbai looked at her helplessly. “Why did you fall asleep?”

Xu Jiaojiao did not answer him. Her black eyes stared at him quietly, as if she was admiring a treasure.

Then, Xu Jiaojiao revealed a sweet smile. “Qi… Shen…bai.”

Xu Jiaojiao dragged out the last syllable of her speech, and Qi Shenbai’s heart almost fell into her hands.

“We can’t stay here forever. Let’s go first.”

Xu Jiaojiao pouted and looked at him pitifully. “My legs are numb…”

Qi Shenbai gave it some thought and then stood up. He stretched out his arms and carried Xu Jiaojiao in his arms.

Xu Jiaojiao weighed no more than 90 pounds, and her height was just over 160 centimeters. She looked rather petite in Qi Shenbai’s arms.

She pursed her lips tightly and looked at Qi Shen’s side profile. For a moment, she felt a warmth in her heart.

Qi Shenbai did not notice Xu Jiaojiao’s inner thoughts and carried her out of the washroom.

At the door, the cleaning lady nodded slightly when she saw Qi Shenbai and the young woman come out.

“Little girl, don’t sleep alone in such a place from now on. You gotta be careful. If your brother hadn’t come to pick you up today, you could be in real danger!” Xu Jiaojiao was stunned. “Thank you for your kind intentions, ma’am, but he’s not my brother. Besides, I’m not that young anymore. I’m already an adult at the age of 20.”

The cleaning lady was a little surprised and immediately became vigilant. “If he’s not your brother, then he’s…”

“I’m her husband,” Qi Shenbai said at the right time.

The cleaning lady shifted her gaze to Xu Jiaojiao, who nodded.

“Looks like I misunderstood. I’m really sorry..”
